Best Secondary Weapon - How to Switch Sub-Weapons

Secondary Weapon Guide for Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds). Learn how to switch weapons, recommended sub-weapons, best second weapon, controls, and more!

Recommended Sub Weapons

Use the Same Weapon Type

We recommend equipping a secondary weapon that is the same type as your primary weapon (ex. 2 Great Swords, 2 Lances, etc.). This allows you to maximize your build towards one weapon type, while also allowing you to remain familiar with your secondary weapon since it shares the same controls as your primary weapon.

Using Identical Weapons is Viable

If you don't have a particular preference for a sub-weapon, it is also viable to simply equip two identical weapons. This eliminates the risk of accidental weapon switches, while also allowing you to lessen the times you need to sharpen your weapon with a Whetstone. Instead, you can sharpen both weapons once the monster moves from one area to another.

Recommended Gunlance Sub Weapons

Sleep/Paralysis is Recommended

The recommended sub weapon for Gunlances are those that can inflict either the Sleep or Paralysis status effects.

Sleep → Wyvern's Fire or Paralysis → Wyvern's Fire → Wyrmstake Full Blast combos can deal a lot of damage at once. However, the Gunlance as a weapon does not inflict statuses very reliably, so if you like, swap out to a different weapon that can proc these ailments more consistently.

Recommended Bow Sub Weapons

▼ Click to Jump to a Section

The recommended sub weapons for the Bow are those that have a different element or status from your main bow. Alternatively, you could opt to craft Bows that can inflict Paralysis.

Alternative Attribute Bows

Since Bows are a weapon type that rely on dealing elemental or status damage, it is recommended to have an extra Bow that has a different element from your main weapon.

This comes in handy particularly against multiple monster hunts since you can switch between the two Bows to use the one that is better against your target monster.

What is a Sub-Weapon?

A Swappable Secondary Weapon

Controls	Switch Weapon X on a Keyboard

A Sub-Weapon is an alternate weapon carried by your Seikret that you can equip anytime you are mounted. This offers more flexibility during your hunts as you can swap weapons instantaneously according to any situation.

Cannot be Unequipped

A sub-weapon will always be equipped into your current loadout, therefore, be careful about accidentally swapping weapons in the middle of the hunt.

Only Equipped Decorations are Active

Only the decorations of the equipped weapon will be active at any given time. This means that the decorations slotted onto the weapon that is sheathed on your Seikret are inactive, while the decorations of the weapon carried by the Hunter are active.
